YG Entertainment is under fire after sharing unclear updates about BLACKPINK’s comeback. On May 25, a video featuring YG founder Yang Hyun Suk revealed that BLACKPINK will return to group activities this year. However, the details left many fans frustrated.
BLACKPINK is scheduled to begin their world tour, Deadline, on July 5, 2025, in Seoul. The tour will end in January 2026 with a final concert in Japan. Earlier, fans expected a new full album to release before the tour began.
In the video, Yang confirmed new music was on the way but said the release date was not set. He used the phrase “new song,” which led many fans to believe BLACKPINK would release only one or two tracks instead of a full album.
Fans took to social media to express their disappointment. Many were upset that no official date was given for the comeback, despite it being just weeks away. Others criticized the decision to release only a single or mini album after such a long wait for new music.
This news follows previous backlash over the group’s tour announcement and growing concerns about YG’s overall plans for BLACKPINK. Some fans even feared that the group might disband, especially with YG’s focus shifting to a new girl group.
